Albufeira Old Town 7

Albufeira Old Town, Algarve, 15" x 11".

Perhaps an unusual thing to paint - a distribution centre with a couple of small lorries being loaded up.  But I was attracted to the bright cab tops against the dark background.  Maybe the picture could have done with a few more workers going about their tasks - must have been lunchtime.  The first wash was mainly yellow ochre, with a cooler tone in the shadows and base of buildings.  I tried to make sure the figure's joined to the background and going down the picture in a similar way the shadows of the lorries are also merging into the building behind.
